I have telnet (running on Windows) that supports primitive vt100 and tn5250
that would, probably, do the job with 'netcat' you've mentioned - as long as
it'll pass whole as400 session, including telnet negotiation and the rest,
as is.
The program will renegotiate terminal type as many times as necessary.
If someone can help Berry get this 'netcat' thing setup, I can send my
telnet
in to see if it works. I can even twist it around if there are little
discrepancies.
